Final Narrative Idea

After many weeks of tweaking, I have finally completed my script after making 5 drafts. I gave it to my actors to look at for their advice on input to make dialogue feel more natural and believable, and it really did help.

The final script is 13 pages long, roughly 1,700 words. I am very happy with the final idea and have a clear vision for how I want it to look, and I am very much looking forward to filming.

I have estimated the film should be able to be completely filmed in one day, with an additional second day to assure I have all the footage I need after reviewing the captured footage on the first night. I have confirmed with my actors their availability over Easter to film and the agreed dates are Thursday the 17th - Friday the 18th of April.


Synopsis

At the start of the film, we see a young woman, Sarah, covered in blood looking traumatized and is on the phone to the police, but she doesn't say a word. It cuts to black.

The shot reopens a few days before to show the same woman, only not covered in blood, but instead holding a pregnancy test. We soon discover she shuts people out, but are unsure why she does so. We then meet Mike who we learn is an abusive, controlling boyfriend who has power over Sarah and treats her poorly.

Throughout the film we see the plot develop and we soon discover the truth behind the beginning of the film.
